Abstract

This study was motivated by the low IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students caused by the use of inappropriate learning models, limited supporting media in helping students understand abstract concepts, and teacher-centered learning practices. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the discovery learning model assisted by Kosica media, to identify students’ IPAS learning outcomes before and after the treatment, and to determine the effect of the discovery learning model assisted by Kosica media on the IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students.This study employed a quasi-experimental research design using a nonequivalent control group design. The subjects consisted of Class VB as the experimental group and Class VA as the control group, with 30 students in each class. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The research instruments included multiple choice pretest and posttest questions as well as observation sheets for learning implementation. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using the Independent Sample T-Test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.The results showed that the implementation of learning activities based on teacher observation sheets was categorized as very good in both meetings. Meanwhile, the implementation based on student observation sheets was categorized as good in the first meeting and very good in the second meeting. The learning outcomes of students in the experimental class were classified as very high. The results of the Independent Sample T-Test indicated a significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental and control classes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the discovery learning model assisted by Kosica media had a positive and significant effect on the IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at UPT SPF SD Inpres Toddopuli 1 Makassar City.
